Welcome to the Cruise Ship Deck Plan Database! For 18 years we have been known as the best cruise tool for picking cabins on cruise
ships. We keep track of over 221,661 staterooms. Our site is loaded with
features, including true interactive deck plans, cabin descriptions and
photos, drag decks over each other, print to PDF, see what is on the deck above
and below your cabin and much more! Start by choosing one of the cruise
lines to explore deck plans, cabin information and other fun stuff.

Each link in section below will take you to the main information page for that cruise line where
you can then select a cruise ship. Or you can click on the ship icon at
the top left of this page to jump to any ship. We try to provide fun and
easy to use cruise ship deck plans.

Only on our website will you find a feature
that allows you to drag one deck over the other
to see what is above and below your cabin. You can
also use our easy to use cabin check tool to see what is
above or below your cabin. It only takes 2 seconds.

We use actual pictures and videos taken
by every day cruisers to help show what the
cabins and public areas look like. Plus we will pin those
pictures to the exact spot on the cruise ship deck
plans where the picture was taken.

Step 1: Decide what type of cabin
you would like.

There are four main types (categories)
of cabins:

Inside cabins:
These cabins are usually the lowest price.
Typically they will have twin beds that
convert to a queen size, a private bath
with a shower, a closet for hanging clothes,
a dresser and a television. These cabins
do not have a window to let natural light
in. To help give the occupants an impression
of having a view, some inside cabins have
a virtual view. That means there is a large
screen that displays outside views. Expect
to pay $100 to $200 a night for an inside
cabin.

Exception: Carnival has several
cabins which are classified as inside cabins
but actually have a french glass door which
allows light into the room (no balcony,
but the door can be opened). Carnival also
has some cabins that have a window, but
because the window has an obstructed view
(that means there is a railing or object
in the way) it is listed as an inside cabin.
Royal Caribbean has some cabins that have
a window but look out over an inside promenade
area. These are called "promenade staterooms".

Oceanview cabins:These cabins
are like inside cabins but usually have
a port hole or window. A window is much
more desirable than a porthole because the
porthole can be difficult to look through.
Windows will vary in size and some cabins
will even have full floor to ceiling windows.
Most window sizes for oceanview cabins are
about 4 feet by 3 feet. Be sure to
read the cabin description carefully to
determine if there is a different type of
window. Windows can not be opened.
Expect to pay $150 to $250 a night for an
oceanview.

Balcony cabins:
These cabins are better, and more expensive,
than oceanview cabins because they typically
have full glass sliding doors that lead
to a balcony. The balcony allows fresh air
and light into the cabin and also may have
additional chairs or loungers. Balconies
tend to be separated by dividers which give
some sense of privacy, but be aware that
most balconies are not fully private and
can be viewed from above or by the cabin
next to you. Balconies on new Norwegian
Cruise Line ships and Princess Cruise Line
ships tend to be smaller and more narrow
than balconies on other ships. We
will list balcony size in the cabin description.
Carnival offers what is called a "Cove
Balcony" on some of their ships.
These balconies are very popular because
they sit lower on the ship (closer to the
water line). Expect to pay $200 to
$400 a night for an balcony cabin.

Suite:A suite is a premium
cabin on a cruise ship. It is usually much
larger than a balcony and includes more
perks. Suites typically have a full bath
tub, large shower, larger closets, larger
balcony, larger TV, and butler services.
Expect to pay $400 to over $1,000 a night
for a suite.

Step 2: Decide where you would like
the cabin located.

Cabins are priced based on location on the
ship. Typically cabins on lower decks are
less expensive. Typically cabins midship
(in the middle part of a deck) cost higher.
Balcony and Suite cabins on the very aft
of the ship can also be more expensive than
other cabins.

In order to set the
pricing many cruise lines will divide each
cabin type into sub categories. For example
a balcony cabin may be divided into sub
categories such as B1, B2, B3, B4. In most
cases the cabin size and features in a sub
category is the exactly the same. The only
difference is usually the location of the
cabin on the ship. Please look for the notes
on the category descriptions to determine
if there is a difference in size or features
between the subcategories.

Exception:
Royal Caribbean and other cruise lines will
also use sub categories to distinquish between
how many occupants the cabin will sleep.
Therefore a cabin that can sleep up to 4
people will be a different sub category
from a cabin that sleeps only 2 people.

You can also use our drag deck feature
to determine if your cabin is in a good
location. Cabins are best located when they
are next to, above or below other cabins.
As a rule of thumb avoid booking a cabin
under a public area or kitchen. If
you are looking for a balcony cabin, please
be aware that on many ships the cabins that
are below the pool deck may also be shaded
by a roof overhang from the deck above.
You can also use our drag deck feature to
determine if there is a overhang.

We are one of the largest cruise ship deck plans websites in the world. We have over 226
ocean cruise ships in
our database. We also have 93 river ships. For each ship we show the most current cruise ship deck plan. We also show you each cabin
type for that ship. Within each cabin type we provide detail diagrams, pictures, features, square footage and
more. We also list each handicap cabin and the deck it is on.

And there is still more. Click on each deck and roll over any cabin. A pop up window will appear showing you
the cabin category and diagram along with square footage. On each deck you will also see picture icons that you
can scroll over to see actual cruise ship pictures of that spot on the ship.

Still want more? We have it. Click on the drag deck plan link to view all the decks on one page. You can then drag
a deck on top of another deck and see what is above or below that deck. We have a link to ship pictures and other ship
information. We list all the main features for each ship including a listing of features NOT on that ship. This helps to
make researching cruise ships so easy and so fun!

We know that you do not want to scroll up and down a very long page or to go
from page to page to find the information you are looking for. That is why our deck plan page is TRULY INTERACTIVE. We give
you power at your finger tips to find the information you are looking for. It is all available from one page and usually just
a click away.
